Day one has come and gone, and it has been a blast. We went back to Schoolhouse at Fall Quilt Market! Schoolhouse was packed full of great speakers, adorable projects and tons of information. We wish you could have been there with us, but we have tons of photos to share! So pack your backpack, pull out your notebook and go back to school with our Schoolhouse recap!

As usual, the end of Schoolhouse can only mean one thing – Sample Spree! The lines, the crowd, the madness all make Sample Spree so exciting! We love getting our hands on new bundles and love bringing them back to give away to you all weekend. This year at Sample Spree we made out with some great giveaway prizes like BasicGrey’s PB&J, Primitive Gatherings’ Snowman Gatherings, Zen Chic’s Comma, 3 Sisters’ Lario and Fig Tree Quilts’ Avalon. You won’t want to miss these!

The craziness of Sample Spree! Such a large crowd at the Moda table! 

And of course we had to spend some time socializing! We ended our night at the Hard Rock Cafe with the Westminister Fibers gang!

Some of the Fat Quarter Shop gang with Ty Pennington! 

Tonight we are giving away two bundles from our Sample Spree loot. Want a chance to win a bundle of Avalon by Fig Tree Quilts or a bundle of Lario by 3 Sisters?

  4. Great coverage of Market so far! I'd love to see Serendipity Studios, I just love to see all the new prints that she uses in her dresses.

  6. I love to see it all, every photo you show so thank you for taking the time to share them all, but just to name some I'd like to see the Bunny Hill booth 🙂

  10. Being a beach girl I am in love with Tula's Saltwater. Would love to see more and get a close up look at her hexagon quilt. Thanks for all the Market photos – would love to go one day but until then you guys are the best!

  14. All booths would be nice, but I would like see especially Laundry basket, Fig Tree, Bunny Hill,Lynette Anderson and Sue Daley. Those Bundles are looking lovely. Annaleena

  21. I'd love to see Jo Morton or Doug Leko, I am assuming he has a booth. I'm enjoying the market posts. Hopefully, we won't lose power too soon from the hurricane or I will have alot of catching up to do when I have internet again!

  22. Hmm, Art Gallery Fabrics or Figtree. There are so many great designers to pick from. Thanks for the chance to win some of those lovely goodies.

  23. I'm an aussie so I'd love to see any of the aussie girls that are there. You showed us Lynette Anderson, can we see Sarah Fielke and I think Jane Davidson was in the Moda Bake Shop Sweet Celebrations.
    The only other one would be Kate Spain as she is one of my favourite designers

  24. I always love Amy Butler's booths. Well, really, I always love photos of ALL the booths! Thanks for sharing all the fun with us 🙂

  25. Love them all!!! Cannot wait to see your next post~~ Count me in on the fun and thanks again for the chance~~~~ Faye

  26. Great seeing so many photos of quilt market. My local shop designer Karen from Somerset Patchwork Australia is there. Karen designs incredible reproduction quilts if you get a chance to look.

  27. Ooooo could you please drop by and see Gail Pan of Gail Pan designs. Gail is a great Aussie gal. Its her first time at Market. Gail has the most beautiful patterns. We all love her "Down Under"

  28. How unfair to make us choose only one. My favorite last time was Art Gallery, so I guess I would go with that one. Thanks for the chance to win a goodie!

  30. Art Gallery, Fig Tree, Kate Spain. Really, all of them! I'm enjoying all the Tweets and pics! Thank you for sharing – would be so fun to win!

  35. I love seeing all of the booths! Its so exciting to see the new fabrics and to put a face with the designers. Cant wait for the next post!

  69. I haven't a preference. Just start with one and go on to another and then another and so on. I'm sure they're all super. soparkaveataoldotcom

  83. This is the hardest question I've had since I took Trigonometry in my Junior year of HS. I would love to see Anne Sutton's Bunny Hill booth. Unfortunately, that would mean I would have to miss out on some of my other favorite Moda designers like, Three Sisters, Bonnie and Camille, French General, and Fig Tree.

  84. If I can't be at market, seeing these great recaps are the next best thing! Looks like such a blast. There's lots I want to see, but I'd love to get a look at Tula Pink's booth!

  159. I'd love to see Tula Pink's booth, which has been mentioned a few times. So how about Sweetwater with their new Noteworthy line.

  160. Which would I not want to see? Were it not for my boys last soccer games of the season, I would be finding a way to be there in person. Anyway, I would love to see The Bunny Hill booth, also love Bonnie & Camille, but not sure they have a booth this time. Also, I would love to go by and visit my LQS booth, The Cabbage Rose, and say hello. I adore the Fig Tree fabrics, but I think Joanna is not at QM this time, but if they have a booth, would love to see it!

  163. Gosh! I wish I could see them all and in person but that is not a possibility… in any case, I would love to see Kate Spain's booth. Thanks!

  164. Bunny Hill….please and Amanda Murphy's and Blend fabrics. I stitched a quilt for Amanda and it will be hanging in one of these booths. It looks like you are having a blast!!

    Looks like a fun time is being had! Enjoy!

  241. Please, please, please, one trillion times over PLEASE show some (or even better, all) of the repro, traditional designers' booths, such as Jo Morton, Jan Patek, and others whose names escape me right now. All the newbies and young designers are fabulous, but come on, show some of the tried and true too! (Blackbird, if they are there.)

  243. I'm anxious to see what Tasha Noel (Horsley)'s booth looks like especially with her new The Simple Life fabric creations–cute line! And I always love seeing anything Fig Tree.
